The Surviving sailors Of the ma.
jestic Brought Into Port.
Three men were brought into
San Pedro yesterday morning by
Alex. Acklehardt, a pilot, who took
them from the bark Majestic, bound for
San Diego. From them was learned a
tale of horrible suffering and shipwreck
at sea, which occurred on Thursday
December 10th, in which the ship Har-
vey Mills foundered in heavy gale
about 65 miles off Cape Flattery. OF
the entire crew, consisting of "a souls,
only three, the first mate and the two
sailors referred to, were saved. The
vessel was loaded with coal from Seattle
for San Francisco and struck o terrific
gale on Thursday morning, and on scud.
ding away before the wind shipped sea
after SEQ until she became water-logged
and unmanageable. In cutting away the
main mast it broke off and tore large
hole in the deck, which soon filled her.
The crew endeavored to save themselves
by tearing off the roof of the cabin and
constructing two RATS, and abandoned
the vessel on her beam ends late in the
afternoon of Thursday. These RATS
were made fast and held together
through the night, but in the
morning as heavy SEQ was
rolling they let go and drifted apart.
The men here were picked up ON the
Sunday following by the bark Majestic
and taken aboard and brought TO this
post. They were forwarded to San
Francisco by the customs authorities
by the steamers Eureka and
Orizaba, the mate going on the latter.

DYNAMITE.
Am Attempt to Destroy a Cable

Am Attempt to Destroy a Cable
Road.
SAN FRANCISCO, january 6.-At q late
hour last night the residents in the vi.
vinity of Ninth and Harrison streets
were startled by q terrific explosion.
Most of them had retired, and, being
awakened from their sleep, ran out into
the street in their night clothing. The
first impression created was that an
earthquake had shaken down building.
Investigation, however, disclosed that
q dynamite cartridge had been placed in
the cable road on the Larkin street
branch OF the Sutter street railroad and
exploded. The basalt rocks on either
side of the slot were found to be lowered
and the machinery badly shattered. The
pulleys upon which the cable runs were
also broken and the foundation OF the
tunnel was cracked. Window panes in
the vicinity were ratified violently at the
time of the explosion. and in many cases
shattered. In saloon two blocks away
q lighted lamp was thrown to the floor
and nearly caused q oonfagration. The
iron plates of the manholes of the track
were found 200 feet away, to which dis
tance they had been hurled.
: A lady living in the neighborhood
said that few minutes before the ex.
plosion she saw two men 60 to the trap.
One of them lifted the trap while the
other took package from his pocket,
applied match to it and lowered it into
tho cable tunnel. The men then went
away. An explosion followed, and the
witness saw the cables and the machin-
cry of the track flying in all directions.
Many of the awakened women and
children were SO afflicted with fright
that they went to the house of friends to
spend the night, fearful that if they re-
mained in their own homes another ex-
plosion might occur and shatter them.
Chief Of Police Crowley, who was seen
this morning, stated that detectives had
been sent out to work up the case but
had not as yet obtained any clue to the
perpetrators. The chief has placed 3
'Atail of dozen police in the vicinity of
the scene of the explosion. 1.-THE roads
must be protected" he said, "aud Ill
give them all the men l can spare. !"
No further trouble occurred to-day, and
the roads are all running as usual.

THE HARVEY MILLS.
Three Of tho Grew Mt San Pc.


SAN FRANCISCO. January Ga dis
patch was received in this city to-day
from San Pedro announcing the arrival
there of three of the crew of the Amer
ican ship Harvey Mills, which has long
been overdue at this port from Seattle.
From them 1t is learned that the vessel
left Seattle under Capt. Crawford with q
cargo of coal for San Francisco Decem.
ber 18th. Two days later gale was
encountered sixty miles southwest of
Cape Flattery, in which the vessel foun.
dered. The onlv survivors known are
the first mate, Cushman, Alexander Vol
iens and Jacob Brown, seamen. 1t is
not stated how many were on board at
the time of the disaster. The survivors
were picked up in an open boat by the
bark Maisstic, bound for San Diego, and
landed at San Pedro, near Los Angeles.
The Harvey Mills was of about 1000
tons burden, owned jointly by Capt.
Crawford, Capt. Wamen Mills and
number Of Eastern people. She was
valued at $4,000. on which there was
small insurance. 1uO coISoS voAuou "s
$l2, 900, was consigned to J. F. Chap.
man & Co., this city, and was fully in
sured.
The entire crew and officers, it is
learned, consisted of twenty-four men.
The Captain and three men attempted
to leave the ship in boat which, how.
ever. capsized. as soon as it left the
ship's tide, and it h believed all were
drowned. Four others took to raft but
have not since been heard Of. Mate
Cushman and three of the crew also left
the ship on raft, but before they were
picked up one OF them nv went crazy and
twelve stuck to the ship, and as the
survivors saw her 20 down, all on board
must have perished. The rescued men
left to-day for this city.

PATTI WILL SING.
Report OF Her Not Coming Posi-.
lively Denied.

SAN FRANCISCO, January GA dis
patch from New York was published in
this city this morning. in which it was
stated that, owing to PATHS success in
Mexico and the extension of her season
there, it had made it necessary to cancel
her proposed visit to Los Angeles, and
she would go from Mexico direct to San
Francisco. The dispatch further stated
that Henry Abbey and Patti had been
negotiating for some time for tour in
South America, and that contract for
that purpose would probably be ar.
ranged before Madame Patti again ap.
pears in New York. 1t was expected
that the tour would be made daring the
coming summer.
This afternoon Marcus r. Mayer, act.
ing manager for Henry Abbey, was
shown the above mentioned dispatch by
an Associated Press representative. Mr..
Mayer read the dispatch with evident
interest, end VIII eli he finished said:
"There is no truth in either Of these
statements" "Madame Patti" he con.
tiuued. sis certainly having great sue.
cess in Mexico, and her time has been
somewhat extended. but that isn't going
to prevent her filling all her American
engagements.
"Will the diva appear at Los Ange-
les!~
"Most assuredly. Those people were
generous enough to guarantee 5000 for
her, and on the 18th of this month she
will appear before them at Armory Hall.
From there she will come to this city
and open on the 2lst. She will give
four performances. After that she will
proceed across the continent, appearing
at different points, arriving in New York
about April 1st. Then she will sing in
Europe, making her farewell tour. If
she goes to South America it will be in
1888 or 1889, probably in the summer Of
the former year,
